Analysis of the Application Effect of Preoperative Prehabilitation Based on the ERAS Concept in the Rapid Postoperative Recovery of Elderly Patients with Lung Cancer
Objective: To explore the application effect of preoperative prehabilitation based on the ERAS concept in the rapid postoperative recovery of elderly patients with lung cancer. Methods: The elderly lung cancer patients who received surgical treatment in our hospital from 2023.7 to 2024.7 were included. The total sample size included was 64 cases. They were divided into groups using the ball-touching method and carried out different clinical nursing methods. There were 32 cases in both the control group and the observation group. The corresponding nursing plan was routine care and preoperative prehabilitation based on the ERAS concept. Results: There was no significant difference in pulmonary function indicators between the groups at admission. The preoperative pulmonary function indicators of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, P < 0.05. The pulmonary function indicators of the patients decreased 7 days after surgery, but the FEV1, FVC, and PEF levels of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, P < 0.05. The incidence rate of pulmonary-related complications in the observation group (6.25%) was lower than that in the control group (25.00%), P < 0.05. The first time to get out of bed after surgery, recovery of bowel sounds, spontaneous urination time and total hospitalization time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group, P < 0.05. Conclusion: Carrying out preoperative pre-rehabilitation based on the ERAS concept in the perioperative care of elderly lung cancer patients is of significant value in improving patients’ preoperative pulmonary function and reducing the impact of surgery on postoperative pulmonary function. It can also effectively prevent the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary-related complications and promote the postoperative rehabilitation process.
